Sadly, two children were among the eight people injured in the crash. Thankfully for the families of the kids both children were reported to have non-life threatening injuries. They were both taken to the hospital and are being treated. Another victim of the car crash was transported to the hospital with what police have said were potentially life-threatening injuries. Six of those people injured in the accident were taken to CMC Main, and the other two were taken to Presbyterian Main.

The accident involved a car and an SUV and police report both vehicles were heavily damaged. The accident happened at rush hour causing traffic delays for commuters in the area. Police have so far remained quiet about the cause of the accident or if any charges will be filed as a result.

Though a cause has not yet been determined, distracted driving in busy rush hour traffic is an all too common cause of such collisions. If it’s eventually determined that one of the driver’s was not devoting his or her full attention to the road then there could be civil liability for the injuries sustained by others involved in the crash.
